有能力
有能力 30秒で
- A versatile phrase meaning 'capable' or 'able,' used to praise competence in professional and personal contexts across all levels of Chinese communication.
- Grammatically functions as a predicate (is capable) or an adjective with 'de' (a capable person), and is always negated with 'mei' (没有).
- Distinguished from 'neng' or 'hui' by its emphasis on overall quality and professional aptitude rather than simple possibility or learned skills.
- A high-value descriptor in Chinese culture, reflecting the importance of self-cultivation, reliability, and the practical ability to deliver successful results.
The phrase 有能力 (yǒu nénglì) is a foundational descriptor in the Chinese language used to characterize an individual's competence, proficiency, and inherent power to execute tasks or achieve goals. At its core, it is composed of two distinct characters: 有 (yǒu), meaning 'to have' or 'to possess,' and 能力 (nénglì), which translates to 'ability' or 'capacity.' When combined, they function as an adjectival phrase that English speakers would translate as 'capable,' 'able,' or 'competent.' This term is incredibly versatile, spanning from the mundane tasks of daily life to the highly specialized demands of professional environments.
- The Professional Context
- In a workplace setting, calling someone 有能力 is one of the highest forms of praise. It implies that the person is not just a hard worker, but possesses the requisite skills and intelligence to deliver results. It is often used during performance reviews, recruitment processes, and professional networking.
- The Personal Context
- Socially, it can describe a friend who is resourceful or a family member who manages their household with great efficiency. It suggests a level of reliability and self-sufficiency that commands respect from others.
张经理非常有能力,他总能解决最困难的问题。(Manager Zhang is very capable; he can always solve the most difficult problems.)
Understanding the nuance of 有能力 requires looking at its frequency. It is neither too formal nor too slangy, making it a 'goldilocks' word for learners. It is more formal than 有本事 (yǒu běnshi), which can sometimes carry a slightly arrogant or colloquial tone, and it is more specific than 厉害 (lìhai), which is a general term for 'awesome' or 'formidable.' When you use 有能力, you are making a specific judgment about a person's functional capacity.
作为一个领导者,你必须证明自己有能力带领团队走向成功。(As a leader, you must prove that you are capable of leading the team to success.)
Culturally, Chinese society places a high value on competence and the 'can-do' attitude embodied by this word. It reflects the Confucian ideal of self-cultivation and the acquisition of skills through merit. To be described as 有能力 is to be recognized for your effort and your mastery of your craft. It is a word that builds bridges between people's potential and their actual achievements.
虽然她很年轻,但她确实是一个很有能力的程序员。(Although she is very young, she is indeed a very capable programmer.)
- Grammatical Flexibility
- One of the reasons this word is so common is its grammatical flexibility. It can function as a predicate (She is capable), an attributive (A capable person), or be followed by a verb phrase (Capable of doing something). This makes it a multi-purpose tool in your vocabulary kit.
我们正在寻找有能力独立工作的员工。(We are looking for employees who are capable of working independently.)
这个团队完全有能力在截止日期前完成任务。(This team is fully capable of finishing the task before the deadline.)
Using 有能力 (yǒu nénglì) effectively requires understanding its three primary syntactic patterns. Because it literally means 'to possess ability,' it behaves slightly differently than a standard adjective like 'happy' or 'tall.' Let's break down these patterns to ensure you can use them naturally in conversation.
- Pattern 1: Subject + (Degree Adverb) + 有能力
- This is the simplest way to use the phrase, functioning as a predicate. You often add a degree adverb like 很 (hěn), 非常 (fēicháng), or 特别 (tèbié) before it to emphasize the extent of the capability.
你的新同事看起来很有能力。(Your new colleague seems very capable.)
In this pattern, you are describing a person's general state. It's a broad compliment. If you want to be more specific, you move to the next pattern.
- Pattern 2: Subject + 有能力 + Verb Phrase
- This pattern is equivalent to the English 'to be able to [do something]' or 'to have the capacity to [do something].' It links the person's capability directly to a specific action.
他有能力处理这么复杂的情况。(He is capable of handling such a complex situation.)
Notice that in this pattern, we don't usually use 很 before 有能力 because the focus is on the specific action rather than a general quality. It sounds more objective and factual.
- Pattern 3: 有能力 + 的 + Noun
- This is the attributive use, where '有能力' describes a noun. It almost always requires the particle 的 (de).
我们需要一个有能力的领导来改革公司。(We need a capable leader to reform the company.)
如果你觉得自己没有能力完成,请尽早告诉我们。(If you feel you are not capable of finishing it, please tell us as early as possible.)
Finally, consider the use of 完全 (wánquán - completely) or 绝对 (juéduì - absolutely) to add weight to your statement. These are common in formal speeches or persuasive writing.
我相信你完全有能力胜任这份工作。(I believe you are fully capable of doing this job.)
By mastering these patterns, you can move from simple descriptions to complex evaluative statements about people and organizations.
The phrase 有能力 (yǒu nénglì) is ubiquitous in Chinese society, but its resonance varies depending on the setting. To truly master the word, you need to recognize the social contexts where it carries the most weight. From high-stakes boardrooms to casual dinner conversations, here is where you will encounter it most frequently.
- In the Corporate World
- This is arguably the 'home' of the word. In job interviews, HR managers look for candidates who are '有能力.' In performance reviews, being described as '有能力' is often a prerequisite for a promotion. You will hear phrases like '业务能力强' (strong business ability) which is a more specific variation of being '有能力.'
面试官问我,我是否有能力管理一个跨国团队。(The interviewer asked me if I have the capability to manage a multinational team.)
In business news, analysts often discuss whether a company is 有能力 to pay back its debts or 有能力 to innovate in a competitive market. Here, the word takes on a more financial and strategic tone.
- In Educational Settings
- Teachers use this word to encourage students or to describe a student's potential to parents. A teacher might say, '这个孩子很有能力,只是不够努力' (This child is very capable, just not hardworking enough). This highlights the distinction between innate potential and actual effort.
学校应该培养学生解决问题的能力。(Schools should cultivate students' ability to solve problems.)
In the media and politics, you will hear 有能力 used to describe government officials or national strength. Phrases like '国家有能力保障人民安全' (The country has the capability to ensure the safety of the people) are common in official broadcasts. This usage is formal and conveys a sense of stability and power.
我们完全有能力应对各种挑战。(We are fully capable of dealing with various challenges.)
Lastly, in daily social life, you might hear it during 'gossip' or discussions about acquaintances. If someone is '有能力,' they are often seen as a good catch in the marriage market or a valuable person to know for 'guanxi' (connections). It suggests they can 'get things done' in the real world.
他这人特别有能力,在城里认识很多人。(He is especially capable and knows many people in the city.)
While 有能力 (yǒu nénglì) seems straightforward, English speakers often stumble over its specific grammatical requirements and its semantic boundaries. Avoiding these pitfalls will make your Chinese sound much more natural and precise.
- Mistake 1: Using '不' instead of '没'
- Because '有能力' contains the verb '有' (to have), it must be negated with '没' (méi). Saying '*不有能力' is a classic beginner mistake. Even if you treat the whole phrase as an adjective, the '有' core dictates the negation rule.
错误:他不有能力。 (Wrong: He not have ability.)
正确:他没有能力。 (Correct: He doesn't have the ability.)
Wait, there's a nuance: sometimes people say '无能力' (wú nénglì) in very formal or literary contexts, but in 99% of spoken Chinese, '没有能力' is the standard.
- Mistake 2: Confusing '有能力' with '能' or '会'
- English speakers often use '有能力' when a simple '能' (néng - can/able) or '会' (huì - know how to) would suffice. '有能力' is a heavier, more descriptive phrase. If you are just saying 'I can speak Chinese,' use '我会说中文.' Saying '我有能力说中文' sounds like you are making a formal declaration of your linguistic capacity.
过于正式:我有能力开车。 (Too formal: I have the capability to drive.)
自然:我会开车。 (Natural: I can drive.)
- Mistake 3: Forgetting the '的' in Attributive Use
- When using '有能力' to describe a person (e.g., 'a capable person'), you must include '的'. Saying '*有能力人' is grammatically incorrect. The phrase is too long to be used as a direct modifier without the particle.
错误:他是一个有能力人。 (Wrong: He is a capable person.)
正确:他是一个很有能力的人。 (Correct: He is a very capable person.)
Finally, be careful not to confuse 能力 (ability) with 能量 (energy). While related in physics, you would never say someone is '有能量' to mean they are capable; that would mean they are full of energy or vibe!
Chinese has a rich vocabulary for describing competence. While 有能力 (yǒu nénglì) is the most versatile, choosing a more specific synonym can make your speech more precise and sophisticated. Let's compare 有能力 with its closest relatives.
- 有能力 vs. 有才华 (yǒu cáihuá)
- 有能力 emphasizes functional competence and the ability to get things done. 有才华 emphasizes innate talent, creativity, and artistic or intellectual brilliance. A manager is '有能力,' but a poet or a brilliant mathematician is '有才华.'
他不仅很有能力,还非常有才华。 (He is not only capable but also very talented.)
- 有能力 vs. 称职 (chènzhí)
- 称职 specifically means 'competent in one's current role' or 'filling a position well.' While '有能力' is a general trait, '称职' is always relative to a specific job. You can be '有能力' but not '称职' if you are in the wrong role.
她是一个非常称职的医生。 (She is a very competent/qualified doctor.)
- 有能力 vs. 胜任 (shèngrèn)
- 胜任 is a verb meaning 'to be equal to' or 'to be up to the task.' It is often used in the phrase '胜任这份工作' (to be up to this job). Use '有能力' to describe the person, and '胜任' to describe their relationship to the task.
- 有能力 vs. 有本事 (yǒu běnshi)
- 有本事 is more informal. It often carries a connotation of 'resourcefulness' or having the 'chops' to handle real-world challenges. It can sometimes sound a bit more aggressive or boastful than the neutral '有能力.'
你有本事就自己去解决! (If you've got the guts/ability, go solve it yourself! - Note the more aggressive tone.)
In summary, use 有能力 as your default. Switch to 有才华 for creativity, 称职 for job-specific fit, 胜任 when focusing on the task, and 有本事 for informal situations.
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
In ancient Chinese, '能' was the name of a mythical beast. Because this beast was so powerful, the character was borrowed to represent the concept of 'capability' or 'power.'
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing 'néng' like 'neng' in 'length' instead of closer to 'nung'.
- Failing to perform the third tone dip on 'yǒu'.
- Mixing up the fourth tone of 'lì' with a flat first tone.
- Pronouncing 'li' with a long 'ee' sound like 'lee' instead of a short, falling 'lì'.
- Not connecting the characters fluently; it should sound like one cohesive unit.
難易度
The characters are relatively simple for an A2 student to recognize.
Writing '能' and '力' requires attention to stroke order and proportion.
Easy to pronounce once the third tone of 'yǒu' is mastered.
Very common phrase, easily recognizable in context.

'有能力' is rarely used as an adverb with '地'. It's better to describe the person first or use a different word like '出色地' (remarkably).
-

→
我能去超市。 / 我可以去超市。
'有能力' implies a skill or competence. Going to the supermarket is a simple action of possibility, so '能' or '可以' is appropriate.
ヒント
Always use '没' for negation
Never say '不有能力'. The word '有' is the boss here, and its only partner for negation is '没'.
Professional vs. Personal
While you can use it for friends, '有能力' shines brightest in professional contexts. It's the perfect word for a LinkedIn recommendation or a CV.
Pair with '解决问题'
One of the most common ways to use this word is '有能力解决问题' (capable of solving problems). Memorize this as a single chunk.

Stress the 'Néng'
When you want to emphasize that someone is *really* capable, put a bit more stress and length on the 'néng' syllable.
Use with '具备'
In very formal writing, instead of '他很有能力,' write '他具备极强的能力.' This elevates your register significantly.
Job Titles
You can add '能力' after almost any professional skill: '管理能力,' '技术能力,' '语言能力.'
Think 'Have-Ability'
Break the word down: 有 (Have) + 能力 (Ability). It's a literal translation of 'having the ability.'
Watch for '无能'
If you hear '无能' (wúnéng), someone is being criticized harshly. It's the literary/formal way to say 'incapable,' but often used as an insult.

Word Web
チャレンジ

語源
The phrase is a combination of '有' (to have) and '能力' (ability). '有' is an ancient character originally depicting a hand holding meat, signifying possession. '能' (néng) originally depicted a legendary bear-like animal with great strength, which later came to mean 'ability' or 'power.' '力' (lì) is a pictograph of a plow or a muscle, representing physical strength.
元の意味: To possess the strength or power to perform a task.
Sino-Tibetan文化的な背景
Avoid using the opposite '无能' (incompetent) lightly, as it is a very strong insult to someone's dignity.
In English, we might say someone is 'competent' or 'skilled.' '有能力' covers both but feels slightly more like a character trait in Chinese.

よくある質問
10 問It is grammatically awkward. In Chinese, '有能力' usually describes the person's state, not the manner of the action. Instead, say '他工作得很有能力' or '他是一个有能力的员工'.
It is neutral to slightly formal. You can use it in a job interview, a business report, or a casual conversation with friends. It's a very safe, versatile word.
Instead of '无能' (very rude), use '能力有限' (limited ability). For example, '虽然他很努力,但能力有限' (Although he works hard, his ability is limited).
'能力' is general ability or capacity. '才能' refers to talent or a specific gift for something. '有能力' is much more common in daily speech.
Yes, it can. For example, '这台电脑有能力处理大型数据' (This computer is capable of processing large data). However, '功能' (function) is also often used for machines.
In Chinese, the verb '有' (to have) is always negated with '没' (méi). Since the phrase starts with '有', you must use '没有' or '没'.
It is a phrase (verb + noun) that functions as an adjective. This is why it can be preceded by '很' and followed by '的' before a noun.
Usually no. For physical strength, use '有力气' (yǒu lìqi) or '强壮' (qiángzhuàng). '有能力' is for mental or professional competence.
You must include '的' when describing a person. '有能力的人' is correct. '有能力人' is incorrect.
This is a legal term meaning 'capacity for civil conduct.' It refers to a person's legal ability to enter into contracts and perform other legal acts.

Summary
The phrase '有能力' (yǒu nénglì) is your go-to term for describing someone as 'competent' or 'capable.' Unlike simple verbs like 'can,' it highlights a person's character and professional worth. Example: '他很有能力,能处理各种问题' (He is very capable and can handle all kinds of problems).
- A versatile phrase meaning 'capable' or 'able,' used to praise competence in professional and personal contexts across all levels of Chinese communication.
- Grammatically functions as a predicate (is capable) or an adjective with 'de' (a capable person), and is always negated with 'mei' (没有).
- Distinguished from 'neng' or 'hui' by its emphasis on overall quality and professional aptitude rather than simple possibility or learned skills.
- A high-value descriptor in Chinese culture, reflecting the importance of self-cultivation, reliability, and the practical ability to deliver successful results.
Always use '没' for negation
Never say '不有能力'. The word '有' is the boss here, and its only partner for negation is '没'.
Professional vs. Personal
While you can use it for friends, '有能力' shines brightest in professional contexts. It's the perfect word for a LinkedIn recommendation or a CV.
Pair with '解决问题'
One of the most common ways to use this word is '有能力解决问题' (capable of solving problems). Memorize this as a single chunk.
The 'Limited Ability' Excuse
If you want to decline a task politely, say '我能力有限' (my ability is limited). It sounds much better than '我不能' (I can't).
